The bio for this account advertises that they repost ALL rumours relating to the Sabres, and with just 600 followers you can actually scroll through and note that nobody in the hockey world follows it.

edit: oh and they've also claimed that the Sabres turned down the Philadelphia Flyers offer of Braydon Coburn, Sean Couturier and the 11th overall pick for Ryan Miller so there's that too.

He is exactly what the Canucks need on the back end. We can add some size and sandpaper somewhere else but he could help in a lot of ways.

$7M per doesn't worry me too much as the new cap hit wouldn't kick in till next year when the cap is likely to go up. Hell at that point the Sedin's contract are off the books!

We'd have to give up Edler ++ to get him so working him on to the roster this year isn't a big issue either as his cap hit is onl $3.5M. We would definitely need a conditional pick coming back in case he doesn't re-sign with us.

I'm not being negative when I contend that we will not replace 100% of fossil fuel use worldwide tomorrow because we're unlikely to harness the power of unicorn farts. I'm simply being realistic. So are Reefer and Mondi.

OK, let's see what the roster looks like to start the season. I contend there will be some major changes.

In fact, I think it's unrealistic to assume there won't be.

If you knew anything about Reef's history you'd know pessimism is a way of life for him... when we were winning Presidents Trophies the rhetoric was pretty much the same.

Yawn and yet I am right.

1) We have good players so MG is probably hoping a coach change is all that is needed, plus rid of the Luongo distraction2) MG has stated he does not ask player to be traded who have NTC/NMC or what ever3) MG in all his time here has not made any big trades (sometimes this is hard to do in the current NHL)4) Maybe a core change is not needed if he signs the right FA (asshole or 2)

Put this and other things all together and it means very little will change on the core. Not negative at all but maybe because I believe differently someone like you just relies on you standard schtick???
